It isn't very often at all that Kate Middleton is photographed outside of events and royal engagements. But paparazzi in London captured the Duchess of Cambridge out shopping at the Peter
Jones department store in the city's Chelsea neighborhood on Friday morning. She dressed casually but stylishly for the excursion, pairing skinny jeans with a Ralph Lauren sweater, Massimo Dutti coat, and Blundstone boots. She wore her hair down.
Kate's appearance comes after an engagement yesterday with Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. Kate re-wore the gray Catherine Walker dress she previously wore with the Queen in 2019.
The Duchess reflected on the event on her and Prince William's royal Instagram account. Her team wrote:
It was wonderful to be surrounded by creative activities at @trinitybuoywharf today - where an abundance of passion, talent and imagination is on display.Trinity Buoy Wharf is home to several programmes run by @theprincesfoundation, which will provide valuable skills to help prepare young people as they transition to art school, architecture school, craft colleges or directly into practice.
It’s a great example of using scholarships to reach those who would not normally have access to such opportunities–keep up the brilliant work.
Kate was last photographed out shopping in March 2020. She was dressed in a baby blue Mulberry coat and matching turtleneck, which she paired with skinny jeans, black loafers, and a black purse. She wore her hair down in waves and accessorized with hoop earrings.
Both that outfit and this new one offer a hint of what Kate's casual style is like—and how the Duchess styles jeans.
